Application flled June 16, 1914. Serlal No. 845,360.

Ta all whom z't may concem. 1 Be it known that we, IE B. Lnsmn and MAXE. FEUERBACHER, citizens of the United States, iesiding at Dallas, inthe county of a Dallas and State of. Texas, have.invented certain newand useful. Im rovements in Garden-Hose Holders, of which the followingis a specification.

Our invention relates to a new and useful 1o garden hose holder, and itsobject is to provide a device that will support the nozzle or dischargeend of a garden hose, holding the same adjustable at various heights,and making the stream of water adjustable in a direction ,either in ahorizontal or vertical lane.

A. further object of the invention is to provide a device of thecharacter described, that Will be strong, durable, simple and efiicientand comparatively easy to construct.

WVith these and various other objects in view, our invention basrelation to certain novel eatures of the construction and use, anexample of which is described in the following specification and isillustrated in the acoompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 is a view showing our complote device in side elevation. Fig. 2is a front view of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional vievv, thesection being taken upon the line m of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a horizontalsectional view taken upon the line yy of Fig. 1.

Referring now -more particularly to the drawing, wherein like referencecharacters designate similar parts in all the figures, the numeral 1denotes a vertical rod or pipe,

Which has its lower end threaded to enter a socket formed in the top ofa.sharp pointed spike 2. From the upper end of the spike 2 a spur 3projects laterally a short distance and terminates in a downwardlyturned ,sharp pointed extremity. The upper portion of the member 1 ispassed through the eye 4 of an eye-bolt 5, the threaded portion of whichprojects horizontally from the member 1. Upon the bolt 5 are carried twocollars 6 and 7 which are clamped against each other and against themember 1 by a wing-nut 8. The collar 6 comprises two portions A and B,the former bemg rectangnlar and the latter cylindrical. "1he portion Aof the member 6 is formed with a vertical V-shaped handle- 9, the Wallof Which bears against the member 1 when the all such modifications andchanges as propwmg-.nut 8 is screwed tight against the rnembr 7. Theportion A of the member 6 15 furthermore formedwith a horizontallyelongated recess 10 within which a portion .of the eye 4 is redessed.Thus it is seen that the'member 6 is restricted against rotation abouteither a horizontal axis established by the bolt 5 or the vertical axisestablished by the member 1.

The member 7 is semi-cylindrkfial at its bottom and rectangular at itstop, its upper portion being somewhat enlarged as indicated at 12. Theportion 12 of the member 7 is formed with a channel 13 extendingtransversely of the bolt 5 and within this channel there is secured bymeans of a screw 14 a spring clip 15 open at its top and compr1sing apair of arcuate upwardly projecting members between which the nozzle ordischarge end of a hose may be engaged as indicated at 15.

When the nutwing 8 is screwed tight against the member 7, the parts 1, 6and 7 are maintained in a fiXed relation. When the nut-wing 8 isloosened, all of the parts 4 to 16 inclusive may be vertically adjustedrelative to the rod l. Also the wing nut 8 being loose, it is possibleto swing said part about the vertical axis established by the bolt 5.Ths it is apparent that by means-s5 of our hose holder, a Stram of watermay be directed from the hose in any desired direction and at any anglerelative to the ground.

The invention is presented as including crly corne Within the scope ofthe following claims.

What we claim is: v

1. In a device of the oharacter described, the combination With anelongated vertical supporting member, of an eye-bolt projectinghorizontally frorn said member, said member being passed through the eyeof said bolt, a pair of collars mounted upon the eye-bolt, one of Whichis adjacent to the vertical member and is formed With a groove receivingsaid member and with a recess receiving a portion of the eye of thebolt, .a clamping nut adapted to engage the two collars in a rigidrelation with the vertical member and bolt, anda spring clip rigidlysecuredto the collar farthest removed from the vertical member andadapted to engage a nozzle or hose. v v v 2. In a device of thecharacter described, 1m

the combination with a vertically elongatedl member, of an eye boltprojecting' horizontally from said member, said member being member andadapted to be clamped by said nui; in a rigid relation with the verticalmember and bolt, the collar Dearest adjacent to the vertical memberbeing restricted from' rotation about the axis established by thevertical member and by the bolt, and a spring clip rigidly secured tothe member nearest adjacent "50 the clamping nui: said 15 clip beingformed :to engag a nozzle 01 hose.

In testimony Whereof we have signed our names to this specificaion h thepresence of two subseribing witnesses.
